80s Taoism

"Michalis, Jasper Immortal Drink comes from a very small company in China. I'm sorry, I haven't even heard of that place. It is undeniable that China is the hometown of tea, but Chinese tea lacks awareness of brand protection. Their tea is mixed with good and bad. It is difficult for them to guarantee the continuity of quality, so I am very opposed to awarding this tea from China." Sebastian still wanted to express his point of view.

"If the Jasper Immortal Drink that every tea taster can conquer can't reach the highest podium, then what is the significance of the quality appraisal conference? What is the significance of us tea tasting experts coming here? The organizing committee can completely judge according to the region and historical performance. I think the meaning of our coming here is to find extraordinary products like Biyu Immortal Drink. As a tea expert, when you find a tea product like Jasper Immortal Drink, will your heart be moved. Yes, this is what we have been looking for That celestial product! I don’t want to sway your final rating, but I want to remind you. A good tea product does not necessarily need a medal, and a good tea product will always make people find it extraordinary. The results of our tasting this time will not affect Biyu Xianyin’s reputation as a world-renowned tea, but it will allow the whole world to evaluate the fairness of the quality evaluation conference. That’s all I want to say.” Mikalis seriously inspected all the tea tasting experts present.

"I agree with Mikalis' point of view. What we have to do is to reflect the quality of a tea product. As for other aspects, we leave it to other people. I believe that other aspects of quality testing will also objectively reflect the quality assurance of this tea product." Tea tasting expert Ji Lili stood up and said.

The awards ceremony is coming soon. The awarding rule of the food quality evaluation conference is that any product with a score of 60% or more can be awarded. Among them, Bronze Award, products with an average score of 60% to 69%; Silver Award, products with an average score of 70% to 79%; Gold Award, products with an average score of 80% to 89%; Special Gold Award, products with an average score of 90% to 100%.

Some of the exhibitors were happy and some were sad, and the results of several industry awards have been announced one after another. Domestic food companies have also won awards, but the number is not many. However, they are all state-owned enterprises, and they don't care too much about whether they win an award or not. So I didn't get the award, and I didn't see any worries on their faces.

On the contrary, Zhang Jiaohua and the others were very nervous, and Zhang Jiaohua couldn't help blending into the atmosphere.

"Actually, we don't need to be nervous at all. If we can't win the prize for our Jasper Immortal Drink, this prize is not worth it. Because they are unfair!" Zhao Jinyuan said.

"That's right, it's unfair that such a good Jasper Immortal Drink won't win an award!" Ji Jiaxin had nothing to predict, and spoke loudly.

But someone on the side sneered when they heard it, and that person was Ding Shuzhen, "It's not fair not to win the prize. I thought London was in your valley! This is London, how many foreigners have mouths? I thought it was the same as in China. It doesn't matter the quantity or quality. Foreigners have to pick and choose what they do, but they are particular about it. It's normal not to win the prize, but it's strange to win the prize!"

"Why are you talking like that?" Ji Jiaxin asked angrily.

"I'm telling the truth." Ding Shuzhen snorted coldly.

Lu Yingxiang hastily pulled Ding Shuzhen, and whispered in her ear, "Don't say a few words, that child is the child of Comrade Shen from the consulate."

After hearing what Lu Yingxiang said, Ding Shuzhen stopped talking.

"Brother Jiaohua, why don't you scold that person? Look at her." Ji Jiaxin was very dissatisfied with Zhang Jiaohua's silence.

"I'm too lazy to talk to this unreasonable shrew." Zhang Jiaohua really didn't bother to talk to her. If she was in Meizi'ao, Zhang Jiaohua would have made this woman's mouth crooked long ago. When I came out, I promised my parents that I would listen to what Director Zhao said, and he would not go back on what he said. I was so depressed that I simply pretended not to hear.

"Don't be noisy, it's almost time for the tea awards." Someone said loudly. This is the guy who leads the team.

"Bronze Medal, Meishan Maojian."

Just after he pronounced Meishan Maojian's name, Lu Yingxiang went crazy and jumped up suddenly.

Ding Shuzhen also exclaimed and cheered.

Ding Shuzhen proudly looked towards Zhang Jiaohua and the others, a smug smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. With this bronze award, she seemed to be number one in the world.

"Director Lu, congratulations. Now, your factory is going to be famous! This is the first time our domestic tea has won this award."

"Yes, Director Lu, we want to treat you!"

...

Lu Yingxiang was also extremely excited, lamenting in his heart how lucky he was. However, he was still a little guilty. He knew best how he got this award. The tea used for the evaluation was obtained from Xintian County. But winning the award, even if it is only a bronze award, is already a windfall for him.

Both Zhao Jinyuan and Shen Jinmao were in complicated moods. How could they not know how Zijiang Tea Factory got this award? This year's tea factory in Zijiang City has experienced a sharp decline in tea, and now that Zhou Xinghai is no longer at the Zijiang Tea Factory, the quality of the tea is likely to decline even further. Receiving this award will definitely stimulate the tea sales of Zijiang Tea Factory. But how can this be a long-term solution?

Zhao Jinyuan and Shen Jinmao both sighed if they were not in their positions. On the contrary, he was not too nervous about whether the Jasper Immortal Drink could win the award. Now that Meishan Maojian has won the award, they don't believe that Biyu Immortal Drink will not win the award. It's just that Zhao Jinyuan and Shen Jinmao are not absolutely sure whether to win the silver award, the gold award, or even the special award.

Ji Jiaxin took out a few candies from her pocket, "Brother Hua, do you want to eat candy? This is not chocolate, but fruit candy, and there is a fruit flavor in it, so delicious."

Ji Jiaxin stuffed a few into Zhang Jiaohua's hands, making Zhang Jiaohua a little embarrassed, "You help us with things and eat your candy, how embarrassing you are!"

"It's okay, we are good friends. My mother said that delicious food should be shared with good friends. Brother Hua, if you also go to school in London, I can share delicious food with you every day." Ji Jiaxin giggled.

"You go to school in London?" Zhang Jiaohua was a little surprised.

"Yes. My parents both work in the consulate, so I naturally live here too. Of course I went to school here."

"Will the students in your class bully you?" Zhang Jiaohua asked.

"Of course not. I am good friends with them." Ji Jiaxin felt that Zhang Jiaohua's question was very strange.

The awarding of silver awards has already started over there, and this time another Chinese tea factory won the award, and this time it went to Jiangnan Biluochun Tea Factory. Let the exhibitors get excited again.

"Aren't you worried that your Jasper Immortal Drink won't win the prize?" Ji Jiaxin asked.

Zhang Jiaohua shook his head, "What's there to worry about? Originally, our Jasper Immortal Drink would not have to worry about selling in the province. Even if we didn't win this award, it wouldn't have much impact on us. It's just that Uncle Zhao thinks that such a good tea should have the most honorable status. Why can't we become world famous tea?"

"Uncle Zhao is right. Jasper Immortal Drink is really delicious. I don't usually drink tea, but I can like it. It doesn't have the bitter taste of ordinary tea. After taking a sip, I feel that the pores of my whole body are full of fragrance." Ji Jiaxin pretended to have endless aftertaste.

When the gold medal was announced, everyone started to get nervous.

First of all, I heard that a domestic tea factory won the award, and Jianghuai Hongsui won the gold award. The members of Jianghuai Hongsui Tea Factory all cheered wildly. If there is no second tea factory to win the award, they may become the only tea factory in China to win the gold award. This is very important for the future development of the tea factory. Although the tea factory is state-owned, the wages of employees can only be guaranteed if the benefits are good. And with this gold award, it may also become a stepping stone to enter the international market.

After reading all the list, there is still no name of Meiziao Tea Factory. This time, Zhao Jinyuan and Shen Jinmao's expressions turned gloomy.

Zhang Jiaohua was also a little stunned. After all, he had heard about it. This special award is not often given.

Ding Shuzhen, who had been waiting to see Mei Zi’ao’s joke, couldn’t bear it any longer, and sneered loudly, “I just said that some people are delusional. A tea factory in a mountain village wants to win an award at the World Food Quality Evaluation Conference. It’s really whimsical. Our Zijiang Tea Factory has accumulated many years of accumulation before it can win a bronze award. It’s really incomprehensible that a small factory built in a village wants to win such an important international award!”

"My surname is Ding, I have tolerated you for a long time! If you talk nonsense again, I will make you dumb for the rest of your life!" Zhang Jiaohua was really angry.

"Okay, you make me dumb! Come on! If you can't make me dumb, you were born to me!" Ding Shuzhen was very aggressive, and when Zhang Jiaohua threatened her, he immediately went into a frenzy.

"Hmph! I don't know what to do!" Zhang Jiaohua snorted coldly.

Ding Shuzhen thought that Zhang Jiaohua was just scaring people, but when she opened her mouth, she was immediately dumbfounded, she couldn't make any sound! Ding Shuzhen opened her mouth wide, but she didn't make a sound, as if being choked by a ghost. Ding Shuzhen touched her throat with her hands, feeling terrified.

The person announcing the award at this time went on to say, "This time, a tea product won the Special Gold Award with a perfect score. This has never happened before at the World Food Quality Appraisal Conference. In other words, this kind of tea has conquered all the judges. I am honored that I am also the tea tasting judge of this tea product. I am very happy that this tea product can be recognized by everyone. It can be said that it is what everyone expects. This tea product is..."

Zhang Jiaohua was also taken aback, did Biyu Immortal Drink win the highest award?

The fire of hope was rekindled in the eyes of Zhao Jinyuan and Shen Jinmao.

Ji Jiaxin tugged at the corner of Zhang Jiaohua's clothes, "Brother Jiaohua, is it Biyu Immortal Drink?"

All the people in the audience fell silent, quietly waiting for the announcement of the answer.
